Question

Find the 10th term of the sequence 8, 13, __, 23.
a) 38
b) 33
c) 28
d) 43

Answer 1

To find the 10th term of the sequence, identify the pattern and apply it multiple times to the first term.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 10th term of the sequence 8, 13, __, 23, we need to identify the pattern in the sequence. Notice that each term is obtained by adding 5 to the previous term. Starting with 8, we can continue this pattern: 8 + 5 = 13, 13 + 5 = 18, 18 + 5 = 23.

So, the 10th term would be obtained by adding 5 ten times to the first term: 8 + (5 x 10) = 8 + 50 = 58.

Therefore, the correct answer is d) 43.
